    I don't know what qualifies as a 'prospect' any more but all these look like class acts

    Ryan Burnett, Liam Williams, Andrew Selby, Ahmet Patterson, Josh Taylor, Scott Fitzgerald, Robbie Davies Jr,

    I generally consider prospects to be fighters with fifteen fights or less, who have been highly touted by the trade press and people in and around gyms (not necessarily the mainstream media. Unless it is a Khan, a Joshua, a Campbell, or a crossover fight like Froch vs Groves II, the mainstream media don't seem to bother -- look at how Jamie McDonnell has been criminally overlooked by the mainstream press and media.)

    All those listed by yourself are capable of reaching European level as a bare minimum. It could be argued that Liam Williams and Andrew Selby are already there.

    Yeah I think Josh Taylor looks pretty good too. Only been in with really limited op at the moment though so it's always hard to gauge

    Tony Dosh from Watford a shocking omission.

    People out on the street heard he is a huge prospect and hopefully he will fulfil his potential.

    World Championship potential as well I heard and hopefully he comes through all those 50/50 fights lined by by Edwina Hearn before he has a World Championship fight with a stoned Black Drug Dealer in the ring.

    Will have to be careful though as dangerous fighters out there such as Hector Avila with a track record of sticking the head on the canvas and breaking it.

    Tough teak some of these people and he will need to be on his game at the O2 if he ever comes across the undefeated flying Cornish Pasty from Scotland thrown from 10 rows back.

    Jamie Cox doesn't seem to be well liked on forums but he is a class act

    Ted Cheeseman and Reece Bellotti both are really exciting to watch
